I just posted this in the SDCC 2012 - Masterpiece Optimus Prime thread, but felt it deserved its own news spot.

Ok so I just got done talking to Rob on the Hasbro customer live chat here Live Chat

This is what he had to say about Masterpice Optimus Prime.

"Thank you for waiting. Regrettably an official release date is not available for this figure. However, I am aware this toy will be sold at the following retailers: Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target and Toys R Us. I would suggest checking our web site in the future for updates on this item."

So bad news is it looks like he is not coming out this month.

Good news is it looks like he will be a wide release! So hopefully we can all get our hands on him easily!!!!!
